Device/music

Famous quotes containing the words device and/or music:

“A bracelet of bright hair about the bone,
Will he not let us alone,
And think that there a loving couple lies
Who thought that this device might be some way
To make their souls, at the last busy day,
Meet at this grave, and make a little stay?”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
